Contest Rules
Cachopo is a traditional dish of breaded beef stuffed with cold meat and cheese. In order to enhance this recipe and support those professionals who elaborate it with Asturian Veal, the Regulatory Board organizers this contest where any Spanish restaurant is welcome. Those interested fill up a registration and, during 8 weeks previously announced, receive at some point the visit of a representative of the organization who, in an anonymous way, tastes the dish at the restaurant. From all the contestants the best 12 are chosen to prepare their recipes in Salon Gourmets facing a jury composed by gastronomic critics and top chefs. The jury will evaluate presentation, breading, originality, stuffing, meat texture and of course, taste. Prizes of €1200, €500 and €300 are the awards for the three best Asturian-Style Veal Cutlets (Cachopos) in Spain.
The selected restaurants will be visited anonymously by members of the jury until 20 March. The 12 best finalist restaurants will present their cachopos in the final on Monday 7 April at the 38th Salón Gourmets.
